During its test flight on 20th August, the UAV has crashed on a groundnut field at Vaddikere in Hiriyur taluk of Chitardurga. The locals have spotted the aircraft and reported it to the Police. The UAV which crashed has the serial number 07A-14. The UAV was being operated by the DRDO facility at Kudapura near Challakere. The police and the DRDO team have reached the spot and there are no news of injury due the crash. DRDO is briefing the Defence Ministry about the mishap and an inquiry is being carried out into the specific reasons behind the crash. A similar incident was reported in September 2019 when a Tapas UAV with serial number 04-19 has crashed in a farmland in Chitradurga. This is not a good news for Tapas program which has recently cleared various milestones and was all set for the user trials which was expected to commence from 2nd quarter of 2023. Total 6 Tapas UAV were to be manufactured by ADE and HAL for user trials. As per the update from February 2023, 4 prototypes of Tapas were already flying. The remaining two Tapas Models are expected to be ready by August 2023. Drones are the most accident-prone aircrafts. Northrop’s Global Hawk and General Atomics’s Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles have had a combined 9.31 accidents for every 1,00,000 hours of flying. That’s the highest rate of any category of aircraft and more than triple the fleet-wide average of 3.03. At the same time Tapas has completed 200 flights and there has been 2 reported accident of the UAVs which is definitely not a good statistic from the perspective of reliability of the UAV. There have been many significant milestones recently achieved by Tapas. On 16th June 2023, the UAV has successfully demonstrated the transfer of command and control from one of the ground control stations to the Indian Navy ship INS Subhadra. The INS Subhadra then controlled the UAV operations for 40min during its 3.30hrs flight duration. After trial TAPAS landed back at ATR. During Aero India show 2023, the entire air coverage was provided by Tapas and the video for the same you can see on your screen. The RPA has taken off from Chitradurga which is approximately 180 km away from Bangalore and it was streaming live video feed of Aero India show from an altitude of 15,000 ft. We all hope that the issues related to the recent crash is identified and fixed sooner as Tapas is all set to commence the user trials which will further pave its way to induction. On 17th July 2023, ANI has reported that Indian Defence forces are all set to acquire 97 made in India drone for ISR operation along the borders with China and Pakistan. The procurement will cost over Rs10,000 crore with Indian air force will be leading the procurement process for tri-services. Air force will be getting most of these drones for operation. While the name of the drone has not been stated in the report, it’s most likely going to be Tapas. took off at 07.35hrs from Aeronautical Test Range (ATR), Chitradurga which is 285 km from karwar naval base. One Ground Control station (GCS) and two Ship Data Terminal (SDT) were installed in INS Subhadra for controlling the UAV. The INS Subhadra (P51) is a Sukanya class patrol vessel of the Indian Navy. Earlier this ship has been used as a test bed for the Dhanush – a ship-launched ballistic missile and associated stabilization and launch platform. **WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN Most of the pictures clip or BGM included in the Video Belongs to their Respected Owners and we do not claim rights.
